The M&S January sale arrives with all the classic styles you need in 2019

Still feeling the after-effects of a party-filled New Year’s Eve?

Apparently, you’re not the only one – new research shows that it takes a grand total of four days to reboot after the holiday season.

So, while you’re doing your best not to fall asleep at your desk, why not enjoy a spot of retail therapy? The January M&S sale has started, and there are some real gems this year, alongside the useful basics.

The trusted jumper, £52

Because what is M&S if not the perfect place to buy a jumper? This cashmere roll neck is available in size 6-24 and you can choose from 10 different colours but this red shade is our favourite.

The classic pencil skirt, £12

Classic looks is what M&S do best. Pair with a chunky jumper and boots, or a silky camisole. Currently available in size 6, 8 and 24.

The statement heels, £19

Even if the weather is dull, grey and depressing, it doesn’t mean your shoes need to be. Spice up your January wardrobe with a pair of wide fit court heels in mustard yellow.

The quirky bedding, £15

M&S doesn’t just offer an abundance of clothing and accessories, there’s lots of beautiful homeware on sale, too. Like this chic Hummingbird print. But sadly, it’s only available if you have a double bed (the remaining sizes are already sold out).

The quintessentially British suit jacket, £68

What could be more quintessentially British than a tailored jacket in pure wool? Available in four colours, but the only one currently on the sale list is the above shade, called ‘rust’.

The beauty bag, £17.50

Some of the best shopping deals to be made in January is in the beauty department – as a lot of retailers need to get rid of combo-products, originally intended to be sold as gifts during the busy Christmas period.

The AM & PM bag contains a 30ml energy-boosting cream, 50ml dermabrasion cleanser and 50ml night cream.

There’s lots more to be had (for cheap) including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley designs in the lingerie department and larger furniture pieces.
